I decided to try the frozen Foster Farms Tequila Lime Chicken Wings from Costco as a quick, microwavable food to have on hand. They were pretty easy to warm up - the directions state to microwave 8 wings on high for 7-9 minutes from frozen (basically 1 minute per chicken wing), so I microwaved 6 wings for 6 minutes.

The Tequila Lime Chicken Wings tasted pretty good. They had a faint citrus lime taste, but the dominant flavor is a savory, almost peppery taste. I have never had tequila, but maybe the pepper taste is from the tequila? The chicken wings were also a little bit sticky from the glaze, but not super sticky like honey BBQ wings, and they also weren't super saucy like buffalo wings.

Overall, it's a nicely balanced chicken snack.

REVIEW – McDonald’s: Mighty Wings

I tried some of McDonald's Mighty Wings. They were pretty good -- they seemed pretty big compared to the usual chicken wings, and the breading was nice and crispy. They had 3-piece and 5-piece chicken wings, and I was amazed that 3 pieces were pretty filling for me. They were a little bit spicy but not overwhelmingly spicy, and they weren't overly salty, either.

I tried ordering these again early December, but they said they no longer had them. Where did the Mighty Chicken Wings go? I was sad to see that the limited time offer for the Mighty Wings ended at the end of November... Oh well, maybe one day they will have them out again. At least I got to try them!

REVIEW – Honeybaked Ham: Roasted Turkey Breast

We ended up with some sliced roasted turkey breast from Honeybaked Ham, which was supposed to be used for a potluck, but it didn't end up there.

This was the first time I had anything from Honeybaked Ham, and it was roast turkey breast. Even though it was turkey, it tasted pretty much like thick glazed ham deli slices. It was very moist because of all the glaze, but maybe a little too sweet for my taste. There was also a lot of fat in the turkey slices, so I had to cut the fat parts off in order to eat it, leaving less turkey to be had in the end.

It seemed pretty expensive at $26.99 for 2.5 lb of turkey breast, and it definitely was not worth the price. It was OK overall, and maybe Honeybaked Ham has the "world's best ham", but they certainly don't have the best turkey.

OK
